10/10 Exceptional

We were in the Deluxe King room and had an insane view of the St. Louis cemetary next door. Beautiful, roomy room and comfortable bed. I loved being just on the border of the French Quarter so we could walk there within minutes without actually staying in it. If I am ever in New Orleans again, I would absolutely stay here again.

This was a beautiful hotel and the staff were beyond helpful. 10/10 hospitality and a short walk to great food and night life on Bourbon street!

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was like a dream. A beautiful first floor with a bakery, little train museum, and a great energy. The first floor is used as a tourist attraction, so expect others around (was no bother at all). Then you walk into the two key card doors (to ensure guests only) and use your key a 3rd time (felt super safe). The room we received was huge! Vaulted ceilings, brick walls, large windows and modern but lovely decorations/furniture. The walk from the hotel to Bourbon street wasn't bad, only a few minutes. You pass a lot along the way including a gas station and police station. One of the nicest staff I've ever encountered. Lovely at all times of day! 10/10 Everyone should stay here!

Loved this place! Our room had a few extra visitors but overall the atmosphere was very relaxing and homey. The staff were attentive and helped ensure all our concerns were addressed. We've recommended this place to others visiting the area and would love to come stay again. Our room was on the side of the cemetery but still worth it.
